The Cancelled Radio Guys
Chris and Costello - Things we couldn't do or say on the radio...Chris and Costello worked in big market radio together in another life, now they bring you a rather skewed version of what's happening...interviews, attitudes, and reviews all in an interesting and captivating way, somewhat irreverent.
That's what you should expect from an American radio icon (Chris Bailey) and a man who only has one name...and turned his back on Queen and country, Costello (He's from England).

Show Introduction and Subscription Plea
Speaker 1I asked Chris of Chris and Costello, the canceled radio guys. Man, the world's gone to hell this week. You got you got demonstrations, you got political assassinations and military parade gone wrong, with all that stuff going on. Costello has to try to one up all these things. We're going to talk about that, but first we have to talk some serious business. I mean get down to some serious show business, business that's subscribing Costello.
Speaker 2Oh, geez, wake me up. Oh yes, subscribing, that would be really nice. It didn't cost anything. It just lets us know that you like to listen to us and will listen to us again, and you can also comment as well. You YouTubers, we'd love to get your comments, because then we can be rude back to you.
Speaker 1Whether you say, like, turn your camera off, you guys are better when they don't have to see you. Or maybe that was funny.
Speaker 2Whatever you got, give it to us, man, and, for goodness sake, give us a like if you do nothing else. Okay, so we know you're there. Now we're begging, all right.
Costello's Tree Disaster
Speaker 1That doesn't scare you. No, that will All right. So we're going to get to all these things that happened. We have to do that. But you, Costello, yes, you've been trying to sell this shack you live in down in Columbia, south Carolina. You're getting ready to put it on the market. Yes, all this big rain you have, you've got these tall pine trees. The ground is saturated and that means what's going to happen. Yeah, timber, was that a pine tree that fell and hit your house right? A pine tree.
Speaker 2It wasn't a pine tree, it was an elm, some kind of white elm Elm tree, big elm tree, big We'll have pictures popping up here so you can see what happened to his house.
Speaker 1And it crashed into a bedroom that you used to sleep in. I did.
Speaker 2When was the last time?
Speaker 1you slept in that room.
Speaker 2As a matter of fact, if I sent the right pictures, it looks like a wooden stake right where I would have been sleeping. You are kind?
Speaker 1of pale, they're probably thinking vampire.
Speaker 2Yeah, exactly with the pasty white look that I now possess. Yeah.
Speaker 1I had an enormous tree. It's in color, yes, but it came through the spare bedroom, I guess, right.
Speaker 2Yeah, I would call it that. Yeah, it's kind of in the middle of the whole house, I mean the whole thing. It kind of bounced off one bit and then hit the roof of the house, slid down, took all the roofing with it and then just kind of laid up against the power cables. So by virtue of that we are talking today.
Speaker 1That's a big sunroof right.
Speaker 2Bloody big sunroof. I'll tell you what that's one big twig that hit the roof, though it's enormous. It's what? Oh, 15, 20 foot long and by four foot round. I'm guessing it's a big branch, I mean it's half a tree.
Speaker 1Well, now you've got this big hole. They haven't even put a tarp up here. No roof. You can lie there and just watch the South Carolina bugs zip by and stuff, oh yeah. Look up to the clouds of the next storm. It's going to come and rain.
Speaker 2It's on its way.
Speaker 1No tarp on it, you know.
Speaker 2That was Friday night, friday night, midnight, friday the 13th. Well, yeah, take out of it what you will.
Speaker 1Well, here's the sad thing, okay, yeah. So this is where you start playing the sympathy music. Costello has no stinking home insurance on his home. Didn't have home insurance. Let that be a lesson and the reason, for that is what Is what we're like. Just the reason is that why did you have home insurance? Come on, why not? Where's your home insurance, man?
Speaker 2My poor kids and homeless mother. They're living under a bridge somewhere, so I have to support them and the cats and the dog and you know I just can't make it. I have a military parade to finance as well.
Speaker 1Excuse me no, it says you look at the pictures of costello's home. You don't. Normally, in a situation like this, we would say, okay, let's start a GoFundMe page and help Costello out to pay for the repair of the roof of his home. That'd be nice. But since he was a numbnut, and a numbnut not to have home insurance, we're going to set up a new page just for you.
Speaker 2Costello, let's call it the.
Speaker 1GoFuckMe page okay.
Speaker 2That's what happened to you.
Speaker 1Go bend over, boy you were flip, fried and fucked see now, what's happening is.
Speaker 2I'm having people come around and look okay, uh, estimates, estimates and what have you, and they're going up and up and up and up and up. Okay, as a matter of fact, I'm just looking, oh your estimates are comparable to getting higher.
Speaker 1Yes, they are. Yes, they are. They talk amongst each other. They're going. There's a dumb Englishman out there. He doesn't know.
Speaker 2Well, now they want me to get. What's your neighbor's name?
Speaker 1Pookie.
Speaker 2Oh.
Speaker 1Pookie they like Pookie they go.
Speaker 2So you go higher, you go higher, you go higher. Oh, you can fix it for a hundred bucks and a bottle of beer.
Speaker 1Of course you would. I'd hate to see what it would look like. So if you want to send a comment, you know, to Costello under the our new you know, chris and Costello Costello's, go fuck me page, okay, all right, there you go, just leave him a comment and go. You dumb idiot. You didn't have home insurance. Well, I did. What are you going to pay for it? What are you going to?
Speaker 2do Now. By the time it had all the co-pays, it would probably make well, it would have made some difference, I guess.
Speaker 1Have you had an estimate yet? Give us an idea. It is ranged. What's the first cost? You got $6,000 to $8,000.
The GoFuckMe Page
Speaker 2Pardon me, $6,000 to $8,000. $7,000 to $8,000. That's it. Yeah, to fix a hole in your roof like that. That's the roof. Now we've got to do the ceilings. The next thing.
Speaker 1That's what I'm saying. That's the whole deal cost okay.
Speaker 2Well, I was quoted $7,000.
Speaker 1Wait $7,000 for the roof and the inside, and all that $7,000? Mm-hmm Well, thousand dollars. Well, go, fuck me page I'm. That's ridiculous. I got some stuff down here that's just walking in the door you're getting the whole repair for that amount of money.
Speaker 2Well, apparently not now. Because I said to him I said what about the inside? Oh well, um, well, um, I said you misspoke, didn't you? Because I said I don't. Here's a funny thing that has happened. Right, I had this one guy come around this morning and I said, oh, oh man, I'm sorry, I've already contracted. And he was obviously pissed off. And then a little later on, another guy turns up from the same company with absolutely no knowledge of this guy who'd been here before. So they'll carry the note, and they'll carry the note at about 7%, which is better than 33%. Okay, on a credit card you can't do that, stupid, stupid. But we're at the point now where it's like, oh, fresh meat, here we go.
Speaker 1Yeah, you definitely need to benefit from the go fuck me page, because you're going to be in trouble here, man.
Speaker 2Oh. Best of luck I'll get out of it.
Speaker 1Best of luck on that. Thank you, I'll get on it. People are looking at the pictures right now of what your house looks like. It's pretty sad, and that being $6,000 to $8,000, that's just beginning, you don't have the big quote, yet you don't have the big final. Oh, well, the final answer hasn't come your way yet.
Speaker 2Final cost. Well, the thing will be the inside as well, although it's probably one roof drywall shouldn't be that bad. Sorry, life is a jolly thing, isn't it? I'm just loving it here so much.
Speaker 1So I guess the tree fell after the military parade, also known as the 79, it was before.
Speaker 2It was first minute of Saturday. It was Friday night midnight.
Speaker 1So it was after the parade.
Speaker 2Was that on Friday? Then it was after the parade. No, it was.
Military Parade and No Kings Day
Speaker 1Saturday, so you got to sit there and get to watch the parade then huh, did you do that?
Speaker 2No, I was too busy cleaning up.
Speaker 1Would you like to guess which network carried the big military parade? I mean, I'm all for military.
Speaker 2I don't think any of them really carried it Wrong, sir, come on, use your head CBS.
Speaker 1Fox. Well, fox Fox, the Trump Network. They're carrying it live, man, they were gushing that it was the greatest damn thing in the world. You know and I'm looking at them going because I really have great respect for the military it's because they volunteer, man. They volunteer to do this stuff, so they're pretty awesome. 250 years of the Army, great history. It's just a super part of our country, proud of him, as can be. It just kind of like diminished the whole thing because there he sits in the box. You know, he actually fell asleep a couple of times. He's going wake up.
Speaker 2It's your you won this battle right. I saw him sitting there on the edge of his seat, you know, fiddling, fiddling with his thumbs, like I'm really, mommy, I'm bored, mommy, I'm bored.
Speaker 1That's where the new nickname came up, called Don Snorleone. They called him falling asleep, so instead of now we got Taco, which is where Trump's always chicken duck on the terrace. Now it's Don Snorleone because he's fallen asleep at a couple of events so far and he's been caught on camera doing so, which he used to make fun of Biden doing that. But there he is, heads down at the military parade. But it was it reminded me watching a parade of from North Korea, you know, or China, you know.
Speaker 2Well, he loves those countries. Or walking by, I noticed one soldier facing the other way.
Speaker 1I didn't see that.
Speaker 2Nobody made any mention of it, but I was like he's not looking in the right direction his mind probably thought he was.
Speaker 1So the crowds were like yeah, I mean because they had weather kind of like when you had to knock your tree down, it was like cancer ring, this, whatever some people. After the parade was done they didn't stick around because it's kind of like a celebration of his. But people were singing after the parade started, singing happy birthday to them.
Speaker 2Sick demented people.
Speaker 1Well, you know.
Speaker 2It was also our producer's birthday that day too.
Speaker 1The big thing on the same day is the no Kings Day, and that was like in tons of cities, large and small, throughout the country. They did a total. How many people attended those? All together? About five million, which kind of like outdid the parade.
Speaker 2Yeah, no shit that was some funny stuff.
Speaker 1they had some absolutely funny signs in there that were just stinking hilarious in the parade. So if you bear with me, bear with me, this could be an edit moment. I forgot to pull them up and have them ready. I'm sorry my mistake. I wanted to read some of the signs that were there. Okay, they're just absolutely hilarious. One sign said no dick hyphen taters. Okay, no dick taters. That was pretty good. We all know the movie Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. They had a song up Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. I like that one. That's good. Here's good. We all know Taylor Swift got all of her masters back finally, so she now owns all of her music. Yeah, the sign says if Taylor got her masters back, then we can take our country back. That's pretty good. I like that one. This is in reference to his new nickname, taco. I'd like that taco to go. Please Get him up. Okay, if there's money for a parade, then there's money for Medicaid.
Speaker 2That rhymes.
Speaker 1Yeah, pretty good job. Yeah, A birthday celebration fit for sad little baby. And that little picture, that little Trump balloon that you guys put in the UK and then it says next to it it goes I want attention, I want attention. That's some great signs. Anyway, that's just a sample of a few. Let's just get into the good ones. Hey, hey, maga, go fact yourself, okay. Mm-hmm. Okay, maga, go fact yourself, okay. Okay, let's see. This one is our expectations for you were low, but, holy fuck, they're going to be this low. I like that one. If Melania doesn't have to live with him, why do we?
Speaker 2Good point. You like that. One Good, one Good one.
Protest Signs from No Kings Day
Speaker 1Okay, all right, I got to think of one more. One more here. This one's great. He's our 47th president, right? 45, 47. Clean up on aisle 47. Get him out. This one was good. It's like an image of the Lion King. It's a profile of him with the sun behind it and it goes the Lion King Very good.
Speaker 2By the way, I apologize for the banging. If you can hear it, they're hammering on the roof. I don't know if it's picking it up or not.
Speaker 1It's going to cage the rest of it in. Here's one I like. By the way, you sucked in Home Alone 2. Anyway.
Speaker 2Oh my.
Speaker 1Signs from the parade Doesn't match the excitement of tree in the roof hole in the roof, fire in the hole. Hole in the roof. Fire in the hole hole in the roof. Are they tacking up the tarp? Is that what?
Speaker 2they're doing. Yeah, that's what I said. Yeah, I'm making sure it doesn't leak now.
Speaker 1Well, let's make our producers happy. Can you ask for a green tarp?
Speaker 2Oh, it's a blue tarp. It would work. Actually it wouldn't. It's reflective.
Speaker 1I've got a green screen.
Speaker 2Our lovely producer, Chesnay Chesnay, who had a birthday the same day as Trump. She said that's the only thing I share with him, Nothing else. On the astrological plane I checked. Anyway, she wants us to put Trump. Born on the same day, I never remember.
Speaker 1For a while.
Speaker 2Anyway, it was her birthday, anyway, she wants us to put green screens behind us. I and Trump weren't in the same day. I've never remembered for a while. Anyway, it was her birthday. Anyway, she wants us to put green screens behind us so that we look like we're in the same room. So we will.
Speaker 1We're all over the gamut here. So we have Chesney producer who turned 31.
Speaker 2I think that's Never tell a woman's age Tusk tusk, that's young.
Speaker 1She's just a baby. Okay, Not true. We have Jerry, our other producer. You know who? An editor, who is how? 84, 84. Okay.
Speaker 2Okay and going strong.
Speaker 1You can just figure it out and just guess okay.
Speaker 2Yeah, you can guess which 39.
Speaker 1I'm 49 holding, 49 holding. Yeah, time for a like. Time for a comment and a like.
Speaker 2Yeah, there you go, Bring it away you're 49. Come on, come on. Well, you know there's nothing on the application for the canceled radio guys that put age anyway. Did you fill it in?
Speaker 1No.
Speaker 2We got it from HR. He didn't even fill his in Jeez.
Speaker 1Yep Corporate will be mad at you. Two things I checked on the navigation. One, subscribe and like.
Speaker 2And like, and like and subscribe.
Speaker 1Hey, did you have a no Kings Parade there in Columbia? Did they do anything there?
Speaker 2I didn't notice because I have not left the house.
Speaker 1You, didn't leave the hubble.
Speaker 2I know.
Speaker 1One of the best comments is from my hometown, atlanta. Okay. The only king we celebrate is Martin Luther King. Oh very good, excuse me, double like. Oh my good, excuse me Double like, oh, my Proud of the hometown.
Speaker 2Yeah well, that's true. So.
Speaker 1Paul quick question. Yes, okay, so Israel attacks Iran? Good for them, we're not a part of it. We're helping Israel having some defense weapons to thwart some of the missiles coming in from Iran to them. Some of them. Yeah, I think Israel is kicking some good butt.
Speaker 2I'd say so.
Speaker 1I don't know when. All these things to find peace and stop the attack is now calling a set of truces, negotiations. They're all called deals. Now, since Trump has been always like the art of the deal, we're close to making a deal. Graham was smart to get in their bucket. Don't make a deal, let's do a deal, you know.
Speaker 2Yeah, well, I think it all depends on, so far as far as we know, in America and it could be different In Europe, they probably have totally different news commentary on it, but so far China hasn't got involved as far as we know.
Speaker 1We haven't really so much either. Well exactly. And if it does, should we get involved or not? I say no.
Speaker 2Just like it was in the Second World War. No, that's a joke fight.
Speaker 1And what did Taco promise us when he got elected?
Speaker 2I'll end these wars in 24 hours.
Speaker 1Okay, well, the other two that are going on have gotten even worse, and now we have a new one.
Speaker 2Okay, Nothing like it, that's right.
Speaker 1It's like doing the like thing.
Speaker 2Oh, it's that old song about oh, what a lovely war. Yeah, remember that.
Speaker 1Oh, what a lovely war.
Speaker 2It was a movie back in the 60s, the clash.
Speaker 1No, yeah, that's the only thing you listen to funny thing.
Speaker 2You listen to some of their lyrics and it's like, oh, you guys knew what was going to happen exactly you know.
Speaker 1It's like, oh, that's terrible when we first came around, there were more anti-war songs than there are today.
Speaker 2Yep, oh right, wait a minute. There was one I heard oh, bruce Springsteen, and what's her name. Oh, what's her name?
Speaker 1Sure, she's in the video. Here's Bruce Springsteen and what's her name? And?
Speaker 2Mrs Swiftie.
Speaker 1And Miss Swift.
Speaker 2They've made an anti-war song, swift, and that was the song they did. Yeah, it was good.
Speaker 1If I thought about it.
Speaker 2I would put it on the show today, but we'll have to do it next week. I'm sure there'll be more.
Speaker 1We can't play snippets of music on the show anymore because we're doing what Copyright infringement Is that it? Oh yeah. We're going to play a snippet. We always do like what we're listening to this week and we pick a favorite song. I've always picked some new music. Costello keeps going back to a Clash album from 1982 or something. But even though I'm not a super fan of.
Speaker 1Mariah Carey. She's just like a diva overweight girl wearing tight dresses these days and coming out of Christmas time, but she hasn't done a new album in probably seven or eight years and she has a new one out. It's called. The new first single is called Type Dangerous. I'll give her credit. It's pretty good, but we can't listen to it or play it because we'd be I think we can play a bit of it if we talk over it, how many seconds can we play?
Speaker 2I believe it's about like 10.
Speaker 1Let's do 10 seconds. Okay, you hit it, we'll count. Here's Mariah Carey Type dangerous. I got 10 seconds Ready, Go, ready, ready.
